Default front end- hit, need advice with parts

So not only do i have my right passanger side fender missing, and dented minorly, but now last night some drunk elder lady backs into my gt going like 20. Cracks the whole front left side of my bumper, headlight, pushes my car back from being in neutral and scraps my front left saleen rim.. and minorly scratched the front left of my hood. IM PISSED. Luckily we both had insurcance, so instead of having to spend me 1000$ deductable im going through her policy, and getting and estimation and check cut up tmrw. I guess im going to end up keeping the gt and kbing it instead of trading it off for an 04 4V. Im going to order either a 04 COBRA front end, or the saleen front end? Which would look best? I dont like the saleen one because it doesnt have fog lights nor do i want to buy the rest of the kit.. mm.

SUGGESTIONS?

also because she broke my headlight.. i think i could possibly purchase some hids? which would you go for ive seen a few out there? what power level? or would i be better off going with some other lights?

Im going to be every dent + 2 clear coats so i hope things turn out well. ill post some pics asap.

i mean i am on 18" saleen rims/chrome, and i think it would look better with 04 cobra front end over the saleen. the 99s front is nice but imo 04 FTW. oh also.. do 04 cobra bodys have side skirts?

take it to a chevy or dodge dealership for the estimate they will boost up the price since it's an off brand

no listen.. im going to rephrase, i already have been granted access to 1,000$ to fix just the front bumper and light.

i can file a supplemental review with the insureance if i need more money; due to if there being another problem we overlooked.. this can be done by whatever shop i go to.

right now if an old friend is still not retired i will be using his shop. If not do you think i should go to fords local body shop??
